Movie Review: Purple Butterfly 2 out of 5

Plot Outline: A Ding Hui (Zhang Ziyi the chick from crouching tiger hidden dragon) is a member of Purple Butterfly, a powerful resistance group in Japanese occupied Shanghai. An unexpected encounter reunites her with Itami (Nakamura Tooru), an ex-lover... and officer with a secret police unit tasked with dismantling Purple Butterfly.

PurpleButterfly is boring. It has a style, a slow, slow, slow style. There are maybe 50 words spoken in the entire film. The first ten minutes I'm guessing, have no dialogue. It is for this reason that I didn't really see a plot. It has one cool scene, where they over do the hand held stuff till you get so nauseous you feel like vomiting. I remember less about this movie than anything else in my lifespan. And the worst part is I just finished watching it. I have to admit I kind of tuned this movie out like an obnoxious persons voice.

Things I learned as a filmmaker from this film:

Slow is self-indulgent. And if there is no significant reason for the pacing being slow, then the viewer will feel like you are wasting their time. Also might I add this applies to kill bill 2.
